About me

Hello. I am Hana and I am from the Czech republic. My native language is Czech. Currently, I am studying in Vienna, Austria. I speak Czech, German, Spanish, English and a little French.

Last year I had the possibility to study 2 semesters at university in Mexico. I started to study the Bachelor program in Tourism Management in Spanish and, at the same time, the Online Bachelor program in Business Administration in English.

I have learned German while I was studying at secondary school in Germany for one year. After I worked for 1 year in Spain and 10 months in Mexico where I learned Spanish.

I very much like learning foreign languages and travelling. I like to pass my free time doing sports activities, reading or dancing. In the past, I used to play the piano.

Qualifications & Experience

I have several experiences in teaching foreign languages.

From 2008 till 2010, I gave private lessons of Mathematik, Chemistry and Physics.

Since 2012, I have been given private Spanish, German and English lessons.

I hold the Goethe Certificate B2 in German language by Goethe Institut in Ceske Budejovice, since 2012.

In 2012, I worked in Hotel Costa Calero in Spain(Lanzarote, Puerto Calero) where I taught the clients (mostly English and German) Spanish language.

In 2013, I worked in Hotel Lidopark in Mallorca (Paguera), Spain and I gave English, German and Swiss people Spanish lessons for 6 months.

In 2014, I spent 10 months at Universidad del Valle de Mexico, Mexico(Texcoco) and I studied in Spanish. I improved my Spanish knowledge and at the same time, my English skills because I also studied the Online Bachelor program in English. I gave Czech and German lessons there.

Teaching Approach

My teaching approach is direct, communicative and learner-centred. I believe that positive learning experiences can make a big difference to someone's attitude to the language. I feel motivated when my students are interested in learning and develop their language knowledge.

Great introductory lesson, looking forward to learning German with Hanka.
